What is the purpose of connecting rod bearings?

Connecting rod bearings sit between the crankshaft and the connecting rod. They create a smooth surface for the rod to rotate on, reducing friction and wear while maintaining proper oil clearance for engine lubrication.

What engine displacements does this bearing set fit?

This ACL bearing set is designed for Chevrolet V8 engines with 396, 402, 427, and 454 cubic inch displacements. It covers a broad range of performance and heavy-duty applications from the 1960s through the late 1990s.

Do I need to measure oil clearance when installing these bearings?

Yes, it is critical to measure the oil clearance with Plastigage or a similar tool after installing these bearings. This ensures the clearance is within the manufacturer's specifications for proper lubrication and engine longevity.
